Section 240 The Girl's Ambition

Naomi's unhappiness was well concealed by her smile, and in Levy's case, she didn't want to show too much of her heart. They're still talking about the movie and the other details of the film.

Levi has nothing to hide from Naomi, and directly states his plans - his plan is best to be prepared in June and July, and start work in August, so that in December, it will be just in time for the release.

Naomi also immediately agreed with this plan: Obviously, this time arrangement is still very good.

And after this question, Naomi has no new problems. After she asked about the movie, she didn't stay any longer. Sending her out the door, turning around, Scarlett on the sofa had already caught the look in Levy's eyes.

"You seem to think she knows about us, you're a little embarrassed......" Scarlett looked at Levy's expression with a little mocking smile on her face, "You're afraid of her?" ”

"What am I afraid of her doing? I just don't want people to know I'm with you, you're so young, and I always feel guilty about being with you. ”

"I'm an adult, I have independent judgment, I know what is good for me, and I don't care about other people's comments." Scarlett shrugged, a look on her face with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Looking at Scarlett, who looked quite proud, Levy also shook his head gently: this girl's temper is really beyond imagination.

In fact, when Levy first approached her, he really just wanted her to play the role - in Levy's memory, the role was originally played by Christine. Dunst starred, but Fairy Dunster was preparing for the filming of Spider-Man, so it was naturally impossible to act in this movie, and Levy just promised to let Scarlett star in his own movie, so he sent someone to ask her if she was willing to act.

And when I didn't expect it. Scarlett received Levy's letter and immediately rushed to France. And after arriving in France, while agreeing to the movie, she also showed a strong interest in Levy, and kept pestering Levi to ask questions, and the whole process was not so much to discuss the film as to seduce Levy.

For the initiative of this young girl, Levy was quite surprised. Of course, there was no reason for him to refuse a girl's overtures.

And this girl's temperament also gave Levy a deeper understanding.

And already has a lot of experience. Naomi, who is quite familiar with this circle, is different, Scarlett does not have the calmness and experience of the world, and lacks an understanding kindness and gentleness, but the momentum of a young girl's newborn calf, and the energy that thinks she is smart, is also quite interesting.

Seeing that the girl was exonerating herself, Levy didn't say anything more. Just reached out and took the girl's delicate body into his arms again.

"Actually, if you really feel sorry for it, you can get her back, I don't care......"

Look at Levy's look. Scarlett spoke again. Her words were a bit provocative, but of course Levy wouldn't really do what she said.

"Don't talk nonsense, we don't have anything to do with each other."

"You really make me believe. She came to your room in the middle of the night to look for you, just to talk about movies? I'm young, but I'm not a fool. Scarlett pouted. Dismissive of Levy's claims.

"Someone thinks you're a fool, then he must be a fool."

Levy guessed something about Naomi's thoughts, which did make him feel a little regretful. However, he is not a fool, where is the time to hold one woman and regret for another?

"If you really think I'm not a fool, then you should trust me more." Scarlett whispered in Levy's ear as well.

"What do you want?" Levy asked rhetorically.

This girl does have a lot of brains - this kind of brain, which is rare in girls of her age.

"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that when you are acting in a movie, you can respect me as much as you respect her." Scarlett said, "I've heard people say that when you are in the crew, only the best actors will be given some preferential treatment and care, so that they can have room to play freely. I think I'm a good actor and I want to be taken care of. ”

Scarlett's voice was gentle, but what she said made Levy feel a little funny.

This girl is really ambitious: she took the initiative to get closer to herself, from the beginning, not just for a supporting role in a movie, obviously, what she hopes more is that she can help her grow up and help her become a real top actor.

She did the same thing as she remembered. It's just that, in her memory, she found Woody Allen to seek cooperation, and now, she has found herself.

"Performing independently is not a simple thing, can you really do it?" Levy also felt that her request was negotiable.

"You can help me. For example, in this movie, the two most important places for me are to show the confusion of my mind after smoking marijuana, and the other is to show the character's blind worship and following of celebrities. My character will have several different celebrity quotes in the movie, can I choose my own? ”

"Are you just trying to add more lines, or do you think you'd be better off picking your own?" Levy asked rhetorically.

"I feel that if I choose it myself, I can choose words that are more suitable for me and more heartfelt. In this way, I will be able to adapt myself more when I express myself...... I'm not for the lines, if it were just for the lines, I'd beg you to add the lines in another way. ”

Sure enough, she was really smart.

"Scarlett, I can promise you to let you find it, but I also want to warn you that this kind of sentence is not easy to find. It's good that you're an ambitious girl, but excessive ambition can sometimes affect your own progress, so don't ask too much at once, it's not good for you. ”

Regardless, it's always good to be ambitious. Levy is not afraid that the actors around him are ambitious, and even hopes that they will be ambitious. Ambitious people can work harder and work harder to make good movies, for Levy, her ambition is not a good thing? ――

If there's one thing that's big in the world of cinema throughout the month of May, it's the Cannes Film Festival. But if there's one thing that can attract the attention of all of Hollywood, it's the summer vacation that starts in May.

This May, Shrek the Monster fired the first shot of the summer. This animated film caused a sensation as soon as it was broadcast, and the amazing box office number also made the whole summer schedule look forward to it.

Shrek, The Mummy 2, Pearl Harbor, Jurassic Park, Planet of the Apes, Speed of Life 2, Tomb Raider...... This summer, the names of these movies flooded the entire market.

A wave of commercial films seems to have swept the world quickly. It seems that all of a sudden, Hollywood people are all very rich, and they have money to invest in blockbuster films. And it seems that fans all over the world have money all of a sudden, and they can afford to buy tickets and spend money.

Just two years ago, because of the economic crisis, the film market was still in a downturn, at that time, if that movie could have a North American box office of 200 million US dollars, it would almost be determined to be the North American box office champion - but, judging from this year's market trend, 200 million is obviously nothing, and it is almost the same to be in the top five, and even the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, which will be released in winter, are estimated to be more than 300 million movies.

The tide of commercial films is always exciting - anyone who can see so many well-made big movies has to be happy that the film industry is thriving. However, such a trend of blindly pursuing big productions has also diluted the atmosphere of the Cannes Film Festival, and also made the participants of the festival inevitably make some pessimistic arguments.

"Movies need connotation, and if you don't pursue connotation, you only know that shooting movies with big scenes is not much good for the development of films."

It is not surprising that the Cannes Film Festival has made such an argument - the three major film festivals have focused on artistry over commerciality.

In this case, there is not much wrong in itself - blindly shooting blockbusters is indeed not much beneficial.

It's just that this is a difficult thing for American journalists to accept at the festival.

In the United States, they are all promoting that this year is the heyday of movies, and the crazy rise in the total box office makes people seem to see a better future. However, in retrospect, the Europeans are talking about the lack of a future for American cinema -- this argument is naturally depressing.

And just when people were arguing, a piece of news came out in Cannes.

As one of the judges of this film festival, Levy seems to have been influenced by some of the atmosphere of the festival during the Cannes Film Festival and created new films.

"I'm not ready to shoot yet, so it may take a little bit of time to prepare. However, after the filming of this movie, it should be satisfying. ”

Levy's words made the American media find the backbone at once. When I look back at the evaluation of Cannes, they are all quite confident.

Levy's films, I dare not say anything else, but to talk about artistry, are enough to make a bunch of Europeans jaw-dropping.

"We don't know what an art film is? This is really ridiculous, now, let Director Levy tell you what a real art film is! (To be continued......)
